Dubai to Unveil World’s Tallest Wellness Resort, Therme Dubai, by 2028

Dubai is set to open Therme Dubai, the world’s tallest wellbeing resort, in 2028, cementing its position as a leading destination for wellness tourism. 

The project, approved by Crown Prince of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, aligns with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033, which aims to enhance the city’s livability and attract global companies and investments.

Therme Dubai, developed in partnership with Therme Group, will be located in Zabeel Park and span 500,000 square feet, reaching a height of 100 meters. The $544 million (AED 2 billion) resort will offer a mix of relaxation, leisure, family entertainment, and healthcare services, expecting to attract up to 1.7 million visitors annually. 

The resort will feature innovative wellness zones, including a family-friendly play zone, a relaxing retreat for adults, and a rejuvenation space. Key attractions include Michelin-star dining, 18-meter waterfalls, and the world’s largest indoor botanical garden.

Sustainability is a core element of Therme Dubai’s design. The resort will recycle 90% of the water used in its thermal pools and meet 80% of its cooling needs through clean energy. The world’s largest indoor botanical garden will showcase over 200 plant species, supporting urban biodiversity. 

The project aims to promote a balanced lifestyle focused on both physical and mental well-being, catering to tourists seeking holistic experiences and enhancing the well-being of local residents. Therme Dubai is designed to enhance the guest experience with three main zones: a Play Zone for families, a Relax Zone with pools and steam rooms for adults, and a Restore Zone for rejuvenation. 

By offering diverse health and wellness services, Therme Dubai is expected to bolster the city’s growing medical tourism sector and support Dubai’s ongoing commitment to quality of life and sustainable development.
